No I didn’t run at the track meet if thats what you meant. Ever since I pulled it, I’ve done absolutely NOTHING!
What do you want him to do that you can’t do yourself? PTs at the high school level aren’t trained in massage therapy, ART, etc. Yes, that sucks, but you can’t blame him for not taking some initiative. You don’t need rough massage right now anyway. You haven’t done anything (not even icing immediately after???)? Why not? You can’t do light calisthenics, palpating massage, and some running drills (or at least doing 1 leg drills) at home?
As far as alternative training–you’re telling me you can’t bench or do pull-ups?
Yes, I did do some serious icing immediately after. I did a heavy workout on incline and some pushups last week. I will do some light calisthenics, and some running drills today then.
Start with 1 leg running drills where injured leg does not raise (only used as support) and slowly easy into it.
its been more then 10days why start with such drills, he should be ready to perform normal drills.
Dynamic Warmup
Bodyweight Circuit
5 x 20 Squats, 15 Pushups, 25 Crunches
5 x 10 Lunges, 15 Dips, 30 Bicycle Crunches
5 x 20 Squats, 15 Pushups, 25 Crunhes
5 x 10 Lunges, 15 Dips, 30 Bicycle Crunches
Rested 30sec between each set
I felt the hammy just a little bit on the dynamic warmup, mainly on the lateral stuff. I think I could probably move on to some light squats tomorrow. I didn’t feel it at all when I did those bodyweight squats or lunges. I felt like I worked off a ton of stress with this workout. I had a great pace throughout the whole workout, I finished the last set just as fast as the first set.
you may be surprise how you feel tomm.
I think I could probably do some route running tomorrow maybe. If I feel any type of pain, I’m stopping immediately. What’s stupid is that before we do route running, we don’t do a dynamic warmup so I’ll have to be sure to get there early.
I wouldnt even attempt that till fri or early next week if you were during stuff this week maybe it would be diff.
Alright will do.
I’m not sure the degree of the injury and the fact he didn’t really do ANYTHING certainly doesn’t help. Better safe than sorry, right? If you are ready to move on you’re ready to move on though.
Yeh i understand but i was thinking if he was gonna go back that far then why not start the whole rehab process over from the start, but at the sametime im not saying to go out and start sprinting 30m full speed either.
Maxed out on bench today and only got 245, my pb is 255 but I haven’t lifted in quite some time.
Well the trainer looked at me and tried to stretch me. He said that I’m too tight in my hamstrings, he said that could have been the reason why I pulled it. I wanted to tell him that it was because of squatting the day before the meet but the coach was right by me.
What have you done on your own, wise man, to help treat your injury?
Do you think there was no tightness in your hamstrings from squatting the day before?
I don’t see the problem with light jogging or light squats, but I am not there to help make a prescription. I know when I pulled my hammy, I came back and during the process I was doing some light jogging and some light squatting, so I am not so sure you can write the guy off.
Again though, what are you doing on your own? Have you been getting contrast therapy on your hamstring? At least some very light palpating massage and, if it’s feeling better, some foam rolling and other self therapy methods?
I have zero access to any massage. I do need to buy a foam roller though. I’d rather doing some tempo running instead of light jogging. I was doing my dynamic warmups with no problem yesterday, so why would I need to just do “light jogging” when I could do at least some sports specific stuff?
I was doing reps with 405 on box squat the day before the track meet. That isn’t too smart. At least give me a day or two to recover from that workout. I doubt that any track team would do something stupid like that. That is why hardly anybody on the track team this year didn’t reach their personal bests from last year!
You don’t have hands?? I am talking about very like palpating stuff. This was already mentioned here AND in the hamstring thread.
I do need to buy a foam roller though. I’d rather doing some tempo running instead of light jogging.
What do you think tempo is? What do you think is more intense? How do you think Charlie has his athletes even warm-up.

You’re just asking for another hammy pull.

No shit, you did nothing to stop it either and you don’t think it caused some hamstring tightness??

Did you say anything about it?
What good would doing 3x10, with 125 do me? Why not do 3x5 with 225 and work my way back up from there? I don’t even feel my hamstring when I squat.
As I said, you’re just asking to get re-injured.
when happen to you getting that ems unit?
why do you think hes asking for another injury by during a dym warmup?
Read his posts. He thinks starting off conservatively (lighter weights) is stupid and that he should surely be using heavier weights right off the bat. And the dynamic warm-up is fine, but he concluded that the recommendation was dumb and he already needed to be back to sport specific work. That’s all fine and good, except that he hasn’t done anything to break up the scar tissue or address the injury except some rest.
I may be wrong but what I think he mean is instead of during 3x10x185 why not 3x5x205 similar to what you did after completing the bodyweight stuff.
